The Guys



September seems to be the perfect place to start something new. Try this on for size:

The two young men sitting in the back seat above are on their way to furnish an attempt at making an impact in a small suburb of South Florida called Pembroke Pines. The mission; to introduce people of all kinds to the love of God, through His son Christ Jesus. Yes, these two boys are Class A Christians. They also happen to be very close friends of mine, and though I would rarely admit it to their faces, are very talented and amazing musicians.

This blog is about me. Yes plain and simple, it will chronicle my adventures and so consequently it will also reflect the lives of the people I encounter through my life. Self-centered? Absolutely. But by placing the acute focal point of this blog on myself, it is my intent to display honestly the beauty and occasionally weird and fuzzy penumbra of the world that is in constant flux around me.

Join me?

Notwithstanding

But even in the face of adversity you stand before me saying "I'm just on this side of it all." And failure is only that if I end by giving up. But sometimes motivation is not enough. Inspiration only goes as far as my emotions will let it. God, I sometimes don't like the person I am. I need to learn to love myself. God, I need your love as much as everyone else. Don't hold back from me. I wrestle with my emotions. I wrestle with anxiety. Remind me that I am provided for, that my future is secure. God, I've done some dumb things. But I DO believe that your grace has covered those wrongs. I want to walk under your grace. I want to mature to the level of responsibility that you desire and call me to.

Thank you.


I will always and only rely on You.
